DrinkWise Australia
‘How To Drink Properly’ Campaign
‘How To Drink Properly’ flipped the traditional scare tactic approach on its head and motivated 18-24yr old's to take ownership of their binge drinking behaviours.
By speaking to them in their language and understanding the cultural nuance and social context they were in, we reframed moderation as a classy, socially acceptable and even aspirational behaviour, making it Australia’s most successful responsible drinking initiative for this group.
Results
- 40% reported drinking less after seeing the campaign
